Effect of Early Time-Restricted Eating on Appetite, Appetite-Regulatory Hormones and Energy Intake.
Sponsor: University of Glasgow
Summary
This randomised crossover study's primary aim is to investigate the effect of short-term fasting (eTRE) on subjective appetite and appetite-regulatory hormones (i.e., leptin, adiponectin, total glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), total peptide YY (PYY), acylated ghrelin and Insulin). In addition, to examine if the one-day early time-restricted eating influences energy expenditure and ad libitum energy intake in the periods following the standard meal test. The researchers will compare normal eating with early Time-Restricted Eating (eTRE) in healthy men.
Official title: Effect of One Day Early Time-Restricted Eating (eTRE) on Appetite, Appetite-Regulatory Hormones and Energy Intake in Healthy Men Without Obesity.

Interventions
Normal diet
The participants will consume three meals in 12 hours, each providing 33% of their estimated energy needs.
early Time-Restricted Eating (eTRE)
The participants will consume three meals in 6 hours, each providing 33% of their estimated energy needs.
instantaneous visual analogue scale (iVAS)
Appetite ratings (hunger, satisfaction, fullness, prospective food consumption and desire to eat) will be measured by visual analogue scales (VAS).
